Mitch:
Hehe, I like
your statement about characters being almost like brothers to you and that they’re all the opposite gender from
you too! (LoL, how funny!)
In the term of your first paragraph in your reply,
I don’t mean every
teenager to say, but I see that the majority has that I what I said in the quote of
my words on your post, especially as the move onto their late teen years as
well.
[b][u]For a fictional individ having power of giving comfort and
love[/u][/b]:
Hmm, I truly do Not see from my own
experiences that they would not be able to at all, especially Love. I will say they cannot give it like we can
towards everyone else that we see in this world, of course because they truly do not exist physically as we do.
But since these kinds of subjects involve with the transmission of different feelings and especially
communication, I do see that as long you truly and definitely keep a character you really love inside your very
own heart, I see that they can be able to when you need them to. For this reason, look at all of the ficitional
individs that have been created with affection from the creators themselves and not that of those that were only
created for the money or only because in order to create an Ani film, especially in Pixar. There are ways to find
out whether if the person or people who brought the character to existent, was either because of the money or if
they really did care about the individual they were bringing about. If they were bringing the individ to
existence for money, then definitely no communication was being made inside themselves to the character that was
forming in their ideas, truly. But if they were doing it because they were either needed or they did have
affection on creating that character, then there was communication evident in the process of bringing that
individual to life by the creator(s) themselves.
Second paragraph, I have to say, it seems we are in a
good line there especially with the Gender part 
For me and truly, Dory, is
presumably the only real Female individual I have that is animated and in movie part as well. To think of it all,
She is particularly the only one on the opposite gender side from me that has illustrated the most for me in my
life that none of the rest who are all guy characters in the past have been able to
do.
Dory, is some of a complicated individual for
me. It seems She has a mix of everything, to say 
But I do see Mr. Stanton did have his ways when he ever
thought about bringing such a kind, vivid, and warm-hearted individual to life as I see anywhere of Dory in any
state. From what I saw in the movie, and everywhere else.
